Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (25 Jun 2013) Timmy Dooley: It is possible to go back to the national recovery plan, the programme for Government and the Government parties' manifestoes at the previous general election.

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (25 Jun 2013) Timmy Dooley: I am reasonably familiar with what is going on in maritime transport safety so I will not bore the Minister of State with the questions I might normally ask about the increases.

I do not refer to the individuals rescued on the River Shannon...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (25 Jun 2013) Timmy Dooley: Two Sikorsky aircraft were tasked to go 300 miles off the south coast recently. It was a very complicated expedition, involving landing on an oil rig to refuel, to rescue a passenger, who is not a citizen of the State, from a cruise ship. When it comes to saving lives, the financial aspect is left to the background. The Minister of State is familiar with the fact that at present if the...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (25 Jun 2013) Timmy Dooley: Under subhead A4, a capital cost of €345,000 is indicated for 2012. To what did this cost relate? The subhead also indicates an increase of approximately 20% in the cost of insurance policies in 2013. Will the Minister of State elaborate on that matter?
